    The original CanAm...real cars, real racing. Look at the drivers in that field. Amazing. I was lucky enough to see a few of those races. They made an impression!

    JG, are you cornering the market on historic Lolas now?

    Pretty scary to see the Chaparral's wing oscillating like that.

    This was the reason for rules of having fixed aerodynamic devices as when those
    huge wings failed, it was catastrophic.

    Imagine building cars like those with today's construction techniques and materials.

    Love love love those MKII spyders. Very nearly as pretty to my eye as a Ferrari P4.

    I've said it before, I think it would be great to see your car back in Can-Am spyder form, even if only on a temporary or special occasion basis. Besides, what's one more project?

    I so wish they would, along with racing tires that gave their best at those sorts of slip angles. So much more fun to watch.
